The surface is down and it needs compacting before it cools or before the next layer goes on. Getting the roller wrong means an under-compacted base that fails within months. If you are searching for roller hire near me in Surrey, our Godstone depot holds a full range from pedestrian twin drums to ride-on machines. Call 01883 743 322.
Rollers Available to Hire
Our Godstone depot stocks pedestrian twin drum rollers, trench rollers, ride-on single and twin drum rollers, combination rollers and pneumatic-tyred rollers. The right machine depends on the material, the area and the specification you need to achieve.
Pedestrian twin drum rollers suit driveways, footpaths, car parks and small paving projects. Trench rollers compact backfill in narrow trenches where a standard roller cannot fit. Ride-on machines cover larger areas efficiently — sub-base preparation on commercial sites, earthworks compaction and road construction.
Full specifications and current availability for our complete roller range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.
Choosing the Right Roller for Your Surface
The roller specification must match the material and the compaction standard. Granular sub-base needs a vibrating drum roller. Tarmac needs a static or low-amplitude roller to avoid tearing the surface. Cohesive backfill in trenches needs a trench roller with high impact force in a narrow footprint.
On Weald Clay sites south of the M25, roller selection matters more than on free-draining ground. Clay compacts differently depending on moisture content — too wet and the roller pushes rather than compacts, too dry and the surface cracks. Call 01883 743 322 with the material type and the specification required. We will confirm the best roller for the job.

Frequently Asked Questions — Roller Hire
What type of roller do I need for tarmac?
For tarmac, use a static or low-amplitude vibrating roller. High-amplitude vibration tears the surface before it has bonded. A twin drum ride-on at low amplitude is the standard choice for most commercial tarmac work. For small residential areas, a pedestrian twin drum roller at static setting works well. Call 01883 743 322 and we will confirm the right specification.
Can I hire a roller for a residential driveway?
Yes. A pedestrian twin drum roller is the standard choice for compacting sub-base and tarmac on residential driveways across Surrey. It is straightforward to operate and produces a consistent finish. Day hire is available from our Godstone depot.
Which type of roller is best for my project?
A pedestrian roller is usually suitable for driveways, paths, trenches and other restricted areas, while a larger ride-on roller is more efficient for roads, car parks and wider areas of sub-base or asphalt. The right choice also depends on the material being compacted, the depth of each layer and the finish required. Skills England’s guidance on the road surfacing operative role explains how compacting rollers are used as part of preparing and finishing road surfaces. Tell Coppard’s Godstone team what you are compacting, the approximate area and any access restrictions, and they can recommend the most suitable roller for the job.
Do I need a roller or a plate compactor?
For open areas like driveways, car parks and footpaths, either can work depending on the size. A plate compactor suits smaller areas. A roller covers larger areas faster and delivers higher compaction force. For tarmac, a roller is always the correct tool — plates are not used on bituminous surfaces.
Can you deliver a roller to my site?
Yes. Most rollers go out next day from our Godstone depot. Pedestrian rollers can be collected by trailer. Ride-on rollers are delivered by low loader. Call 01883 743 322 with your site location and we will confirm delivery arrangements.
